Review summary

I had fun but I don't think that I will sail on a smaller,older ship again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Embarkation was a breeze. We had faster to the fun.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was just ok. Dishes were room temperature. Meat was tough and sometimes dry. Guys and Blue Iguana saved me from starving.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Orlando and Deion were awesome.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

This cruise had the worst service of all of my carnival cruises. The room steward was great and so was the Hostess ladies in the dining room. Lots of others seemed as if they didn't want to be there. Rolling eyes and very few smiles.

We did sensation in September nice cruise overall but geared more towards college kids and bachelors lol . I definitely wouldn’t of brought my kids. One pool for everyone is ridiculous we made it work but not again. My husband likes MSC because it’s more calm and relaxing. Much bigger space and has an adult deck with pool. We’re going mAy on the MSC seaside.

No matter what, have fun. It was good just not the best. It was short and inexpensive. I'll take it over staying home anyday. It was the 2nd cruise in our 3 cruises in 5 months. The first was on the Liberty. I liked Liberty better. I missed the steakhouse and the movies under the stars

Were leaving in May. I cruised on Sensations a few yrs ago and it was nice. Oh Lord what are we in for. There are so many different opinions some good and some bag. I will leave the judging to me fingers cross.
